Bing point question
So, I am earning Bing points and I've been redeeming them for $5 Amazon gift cards at 475 points for the gift card.
I could get 500 Swagbucks for 500 Bing points and then use 2,200 Swagbucks to get a $25 Amazon card.
I'm guessing that this is the best use of points. But does anyone know how I'd do the math to confirm it?

Yes, I know that but this is more complex. I can use $5/475 = $0.0105 or 1.05 cpp or a $.01 CPP to get into Swagbucks but then redeem at the higher cpp of $25/2200 = $0.0114 or 1.14 cpp
So would it be either 1.05 cpp vs and average of the two for true comparison.

I don't see a swagbucks redemption option on my Bing page. Do you have one?
But another factor could be that you only get one swagbucks redemption at the 2200 point level per month.
There's an existing Bing thread at the link below. Perhaps the moderator could merge these 2. tls
